3 treadmill miles just now.  Leg feels OK -- not wonderful, but I think I might see how 3 more go tonight at recovery pace.  Gotta give the kids a bath first though -- they smell!  (Well, not as bad as I do right now, but still, littles should smell sweet, not sweaty!)

 

It's college week here at my place -- Bayside's away, so I return to my college ways: pizza, hot and cold sandwiches, and not much else. Oh, and beer.  Bayside is in Seattle trying to meet with his boss to serve notice. He tried to do it last week, and his boss blew off his conference call and then never returned any calls for the rest of the week.   Really, why incur the expenses of travel to a technical training when the guy isn't going to continue with the company??  Double  as a shareholder.  I guess if I see Bayside post it on Facebook (his boss friended him awhile ago) I'll know he's hit his limit in patience!

Holy heavy hardware, Dove...I hope you kids stay awy from the pool with that on your necks!!!!

 

Today has been a lawn mower repair/profanity day. Tag came with me to get propane for the smoker...Jumped out of the truck to try and get into the office with me.

 

When we got home, I parked in the sun...had all the doors open and the back. I called Tag and he would not get out. He was standing in the back panting. When I called him, he laid down. We went to the parts store. I parked in the shade. While I was in the store, Tag went to the ice cream shop....The kids there gave him the usual. ...I promise, I was gonna take him after we got lawn mower parts....I did find out that the flavor "Eskimo Kisses"  has 0% real Eskimo in it...WTF!

 

Denise.   I'm feeling for you.   Keep up the running to your own spirits up.  Eat healthy stuff.  I have been through a rough crisis this spring and summer, and know that running kept me in betters spirits than I would have been otherwise.   I have just this week been filling out my last four months of m running log.  We are all with you.

 Does Bubba have room for another ?......Seriously

 

I'm supposed to be on RAGBRAI right now but life really got in the way of things.

 

Bubba definitely always has room for more, and this tour is also definitely not sold out. Go to http://www.lmb.org for the details. By the way, Bubba does a great job catering RAGBRAI as well -- this was his 2nd year doing it. He regaled us with a lot of RAGBRAI stories last year at the Michigander!
